    If your system admins think they're locking down a box by preventing
    you from using Terminal.app, you've got much bigger problems. :) I'd
    suggest that you work to figure out exactly how they did that. Did they
    remove permission for you to run Terminal.app? Has it been removed
    entirely from the system? The stupid things people will do to "secure"
    a system...

    Assuming they didn't do something really stupid like change your
    login shell to /bin/false, you could simply create a read-write
    disk image with Disk Utility.app on a working OS X system. Copy
    /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app from the working system into
    the disk image. Then convert the image to a compressed, read-only
    image. Under 10.4, this will only take up just under 2 MB . Copy
    it to your home directory on the afflicted OS X systems. To run
    Terminal, just open the disk image, and run Terminal.app from there.

    Another option, if you have access to Classic, is to run MacSSH.

    To answer your original question: Putty is a Windows-only program,
    AFAIK.
